Hi! I began my treatment with Sovaldi and Olysio 21 days ago, and I'm doing great. I have not had ANY side effects, and simply feel normal, or perhaps a bit more clear-headed and energetic. I had my two week labs done, and the results have absolutely amazed me -- all results (ALT, AST, etc) are within the normal range, and my viral load (formerly 789000) is undetectable!
I so hope that you all can get this or one of the newer treatments coming out this summer. I was treatment naive, having learned in 2006 that I was hep-c positive, from a blood transfusion I'd received 25 years earlier. Everyone, please remember, if you had a blood transfusion before 1992, you should be tested for Hepatitis! I'm very lucky to have a top doc and great insurance.
